Facts are facts.

They aren’t colored by emotion or bias. They are indisputable. There is no alternative to a fact.

Facts explain things. What they are, how they happened. Facts are not interpretations.

Once facts are established, opinions can be formed. And while opinions matter, they don’t change the facts.

That’s why, at CNN, we start with the facts first.
